  • Device, method, and graphical user interface for enabling generation of contact-intensity-dependent interface responses
    Patent number: 10007418
    Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, a method is performed at an electronic device with a display, a touch-sensitive surface, one or more sensors capable of detecting intensity of one or more contacts with the touch-sensitive surface, one or more processors, and a non-transitory memory. The method includes displaying, on the display, an interface object associated with a plurality of contact-intensity-dependent interface responses corresponding to a plurality of contact intensity level values and receiving a sequence of one or more inputs that includes detecting a contact on the touch-sensitive surface associated with a location of the interface object and detecting an intensity of the contact.
